To specify more doors, just add more door elements. | Where '''X-M''', '''Y-M''', and '''Z-M''' are the X/Y/Z coordinates of the door in meters and '''HOOD-DEG''' is the jetway hood rotation amount.

Launch FlightGear in your favorite aircraft. The author uses the [[Bluebird]]. You ''cannot'' use the [[UFO]] because its scenery-editing function will interfere with the jetway editor. Go to AI > Jetway Settings and tick the "Enable jetway editor" checkbox. Then click the "Open Editor" button. | |||
[[File:Animated-jetway-editor.jpg]] | |||
With the editor enabled, click anywhere on the ground to place an animated jetway, which will flash to indicate it is selected. The jetway editor is similar to the UFO's scenery model editor. You can Alt-click on the terrain to move the current selected jetway. Ctrl-click selects the jetway closest to the click position (the new jetway will flash to indicate it's selected). Shift-click deselects the current jetway. | |||
The dialog is used to adjust the selected jetway. The top sliders adjust position and orientation, and the bottom ones adjust the jetway itself. The offsets that the bottom sliders control can be used to model jetways that are in obscure configurations. | |||
When you are finished editing your airport jetway layout, click the "Export" button. A jetway definition file will be created and written to <tt>$FG_HOME/Export/ICAO.xml</tt>, where <tt>ICAO</tt> is the ICAO code of the nearest airport. (The exact location of this file is printed to the console window.) This file should be submitted to Terrasync (see [[FlightGear Scenery Database#Contribute]]). | |||
